THE MINERS OF ENGLAND
BETTER OFF THAN THEIR FELL
LOWS m THIS COUNTRY.

How Nj. uorley's saturday Night speech
i. ~Rec.iysd-Ngr. Persico's Mission
Nearly Germany and France
for Peace-A sunday League Meeting.
LONDON. Oct 3-The agitation among the
miners has spread 10 Derbyshire. The work
men in that district have Just held a confer
ence. AZ which they decided 10 petition for
the eight hour day and other improvements
in their lot. Socialistic idsas are said TO be
making rapid progress among the miners.
Heretofore they have been a surprisingly
conservative class probably because, though
poorly paid, their work is tolerably constant.
Whatever may be true OF other classes OF
laborers. there is no doubt that the English
miner is better off than his American fellow.
The accounts Of the condition of miners IN
Pennsylvania, reprinted here from American
papers, have created surprise and have fur
nished rampant free traders with new argu-
ments Of more or less plausibility.
Even the Tories are obliged TO admit that
Mr.. John Morley's speech at Templecombe,
Saturday evening, was a brilliant effort.
The Tories are, in fact, just as well pleased
as the Liberals over the manner in which
Mr. Morley handled Mr.. Chamberlain. The
Birmingham politician is well-nigh an lsh-
maelite among statesmen at present. He Is
paying the natural penalty Of being all
things by turn, and nothing long. Every
mans hand is against him. The passage in
Mr.. Morley speech which received most ap-
prOval, was hat in which he declared that a
policy Of blind, ndiscriminate, laundering
force must fail, as it would not be permitted
by the justice-loving people Of England.
There were 10000 people present at the meet
ing, and they displayed much enthusiasm.
Mgr. Persico, the papal envoy who has
been studying the politico-religious situa-
lion in Ireland, will pay another days visit
90 Dublin and then proceed to Rome 20 make
his report.
The peculiar situation along the Franco
German frontier can hardly fail TO give Oc-
casion for more episodes Of an irritating
character, like the Kaufman and Schnaebeles
incidents, but the sensible attitude Of the two
i'm these cases makes il almost
certain that no such himsy pretext will be
allowed 10 give rise to hOstilities The gen
eral feeling in diplomatic circles has been
